‘We did our work here and I think history will judge it well’: Speaker Johnson on Ukraine aid vote

House Speaker Mike Johnson faced down threats to oust him on Saturday, April 20. In spite of this, he said “We did our work here and I think history will judge it well,” after the U.S. House of Representatives with broad bipartisan support passed a $95 billion legislative package providing security assistance to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, over bitter objections from Republican hardliners.
